[council] Fwd: SSR2 Restart, Terms of Reference Update

[Heather Forrest]

Dear Council colleagues,

I am pleased to pass on the positive update below from  Russ Housley, Chair
of the SSR2 Review Team, following the involvement of a facilitator (per
SO/AC request) and a face-to-face meeting held in Washington DC at the end
of last month.

Phil Khoury, the ICANN-appointed facilitator, has additionally advised the
SO/AC Chairs that his work with the SSR2 RT has completed.

Best wishes,

Heather

*Sent on behalf of Russ Housley, Chair, SSR2 Review Team to SO, AC, SG, C
Leaders and ICANN Board *



Dear all,



On behalf of the ICANN Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the Domain
Name System (SSR2) Review Team, I am pleased to inform you that the Review
Team has worked with the appointed facilitator to successfully address the
work outlined in your 13 March 2018 note
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/soac-to-koubaa-13mar18-en.pdf>
:

*a) on-boarding new members who have joined since the "pause" and agreeing
on leadership from the current membership;*

*b) helping the group to work through concerns around membership and scope
as identified in a confidential survey conducted by the SO/AC Chairs
shortly after the pause; and*

*c) helping the RT to identify ways to reach consensus.*



On 5 June 2018, we were notified that ICANN had engaged an external
professional, Phil Khoury, to “facilitate the transition process and help
the SSR2 Review Team in restarting and moving forward with its work.” The
Review Team worked with Phil in relaunching our activities and planning an
in-person meeting.



The Review Team reconvened after being paused since October 2017 and held
an in-person meeting on 22-24 August in Washington, DC. The Review Team has
on-boarded new members, selected leadership, reviewed work to date, and
updated our scope/terms of reference
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/66061139/SSR2-Terms%20of%20Reference-Final%20for%20posting%202018-Sep-1%5B1%5D.docx?version=2&modificationDate=1536089773000&api=v2>
(attached). We are refreshing our workplan and outreach/communication plan,
and then we are moving forward with our substantive work. More details of
our August meeting and ongoing work are described in the attached blog,
which will be publicly posted.



The Review Team unanimously agreed on leadership (in addition to me serving
as Chair, we have Vice Chairs - Denise Michel, Eric Osterweil, Laurin
Weissinger), and unanimously approved an updated scope/terms of reference,
which is attached and will be publicly posted on our wiki
<https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/SSR2+Review>. We welcome your
input on this and other SSR2 efforts.



The Review Team is looking forward to efficiently progressing its work. We
plan to next meet at ICANN63 in Barcelona. Given the past delays, we feel
it’s imperative that the Review Team meet at ICANN63 to advance our work
and engage with community members. We would greatly appreciate your help in
ensuring that a room is reserved ASAP for our 15-member meeting sessions on
21 and 24 October. To hold time on Review Team members’ schedules and to
save ICANN funds, we need to promptly lock-in this meeting and arrange
travel.



Thank you for your support for the Review Team’s important, bylaw-mandated
work. Please don’t hesitate to contact me and the Review Team if you need
additional information or wish to share your thoughts.
